Hey El Gato, so how much $$ did your whole setup cost you?
I'm currently using a Lee Turret. It works OK, but it is SLOW. I'm THINKING of getting into IPSC and if I do, I will probably get a 650. I haven't priced the stands at Dillon but a friend of mine used a stand from Harbor Freight for his and it works just fine.

I thought about that too when I was first getting my XL650 up and running. I figured that it would be a great way to further cut the cost of my habit (buying components in even larger quantities, tax deductions, etc.) but then a guy that was getting out of that business clued me in on the liability thing and then he mentioned something about "excise tax" and it sounded like it was going from bad to worse. So ... be very selective as to who you "help out" with cost reduction of ammunition. Crisp Triggers!

I think that you will be much happier in the long run with the XL650 as it is much more versatile in the number of different calibers that it is adaptable to. A good source to order from is Graf's in Mexico, MO. They have a discount program that you will certainly qualify for and FLAT RATE shipping. Add to that NO TAX (as long as you are not in MO) and it is a screaming deal. One word of caution though - a friend of mine called there to order a 605 after I spent two hours lining him out on what he needed and the sales guy talked him into a 1050. That was a "bad plan" for what this guy needed. Oh, well .... If you would like further info feel free to email me "off line". P.s. On the "reloads for sale" idea - look for the addition that I tagged on to the gent's reply that reported the BATFE is the place to go. Crisp Triggers to all!
